Even so, it seems counterproductive to abandon tons of really expensive materials in space, presumably until supply of these materials on Earth is depleted.
Don’t worry, in the long-term anything in LEO will end up on Earth again.
If sending these materials up there helps you secure more supply of them on earth it is a win. For humanity it is a loss, but we still think in nation states until we are all fucked.
